Chloramphenicol Ophthalmic Hydrogel Lab Report

Measurement of lipid peroxidation TBARS, a measure of lipid per oxidation, was measured as described by Ohkawa [15]. Briefly, 1 ml of suspension medium was taken from the 10% tissue homogenate. 0.5 ml of 30% Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was added to it, followed by 0.5 ml of 0.8% thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reagent. The tubes were covered with aluminium foil and kept in shaking water bath for 30 minutes at 80°C. After 30 minutes, tubes were taken out and kept in ice-cold water for 30 minutes.

Then 1 ml from these bacterial solutions were added to 1 ml of MHII containing different concentration of ciprofloxacin 0.5x, 1x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 50x,75x and 100x MIC to each well in 12-well plate. Colony counts (CFU/ml) were determined at different time points (T0, T3, T24) by using appropriate dilutions of each culture. Using spot-plating method (32) 10µl was spotted on LB agar plates. However after 24 hour exposure the bacterial cell from dilutions of ≤ 1x102 were washed twice with sterile PBS prior to plating in triplicate. These were then incubated overnight at 37°C.

Decomposition of Aspirin Studied with UV/Visible Absorption Spectroscopy Aims:  To determine the concentration of salicylic acid, formed from the hydrolysis of Aspirin, at regular intervals using the UV/Visible Absorption Spectroscopy  From the concentration of salicylic acid, concentration of Aspirin to be determined using an equation  Calculate the rate constant of this reaction and its order from a plot of graph of ln(aspirin) vs time  Discuss the overall flaws and improvements to the experiment Results: As per schedule1, 0.212g of aspirin was added to 50 ml boiling water to form salicylic acid in a 100 ml flask, of which 1 ml was then pipetted to a 50 ml volumetric flask at the 5th min. Following an ice bath, the solution was mixed

The sample was transferred to a 250 ml conical flask kept in water bath for alkali treatment. 75 ml of 17.5% caustic soda was measured using a measuring cylinder at 20°C. 15 ml of 17.5% NaOH was added and fibres were macerated gently with a flattened glass rod for 1 minute. 10 ml more NaOH was added and the solution was mixed for 45 seconds. 10 ml NaOH was again added and mixed for 15 seconds to make lump free slurry.

The temperature of the water was then recorded to the nearest 0.1⁰C. Then the melting points of phenylacetic acid, o-anisic acid, and benzilic acid were determined by the use of a Mel-Temp. The unknown sample was obtained from the chemical stockroom. A small scale of crystals from unknown was placed in a test tube with the following solvents: cyclohexane, hexane, toluene, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, methanol, or water, to determine the appropriate solvent for the unknown. If the solute was wholly dissolved in the solvent before heating, it was recorded as a bad solvent.

The P2 tube was then placed in the refrigerated centrifuge at a speed of 15,000g for 30-60 minutes at 4°C. 1ml of the homogenisation buffer was added to the P1 pellet and was vortexed to resuspend it. The supernatant was then removed from the P2 tube and placed into a micro tube labelled ‘S’. 1 ml of the homogenisation buffer was added to the P2 pellet and placed on ice. The pellet was then resuspended again by adding small quantity of glass beads and it was vortexed vigorously until the pellet has disappeared from the bottom of the

(76.8μm) The product was analyzed periodically during storage for parameters like moisture, acidity, water activity, colour, TBARS, FFA, Browning Index etc. The kinetics of quality changes w.r.t carotenoid degradation was studied using zero order and first order reaction kinetics. 4.1. Physico-chemical analysis of avocado milk shake powder The initial analysis of avocado milk shake powder showed acidity 0.171±0.01 (% lactic acid), water activity (0.253), pH

TCBS agar was prepared for about 100ml and poured into petri plates, after solidifying, pure colonies of bioluminescent bacteria was streaked. The petri plates were observed after 24 hours. If there is presence of yellow color colonies, it is concluded as Vibrio spp. 3.12.4 Species Verification by Sub-culturing at 4°C using SWC agar media The pure culture of Bioluminescent bacteria was streaked on the agar media and refrigerate at 4°C. The Photobacterium phosphoreum will exhibit slow growth at

During this step, I observed that there were bubbles in the solution, especially at the bottom of the beaker. After adding the HLC, there solution had a slight yellow tint. Next, I mixed 0.529g of sodium acetate in 3mL of water and added 0.679g of acetic anhydride to the aniline solution and immediately added sodium acetate. The solution was cooled in an ice bath for fifteen minutes. During this time, I noticed the formation

After the specified time, the solutions were completed to mark by using distilled water to achieve a final concentration of 20 µg/mL each, filtered and injected into the HPLC system. Dry Heat Degradation For thermal stress, 10 mg portions of each of VAL and SAC dry powder were placed in porcelain dish in a controlled-temperature oven at 100˚C for 4 hours. After the specified time, the content of the porcelain dish was transferred quantitatively with HPLC-grade methanol into a 10 mL volumetric flask and the volume was made to the mark by using the same solvent. Then, an aliquot of this methanolic stock was diluted to volume with distilled water to obtain a final concentration of 20 µg mL-1. After the preceding treatments, solutions were filtered and injected into the HPLC

Name: University: Course: Date: Abstract I. Introduction/Motivation: The objective of this experiment was to characterize the behavior of a distillation column running in continuous mode. Two types of liquids were separated: 2-propanol and methanol (at 25 mol% and 75 mol% respectively). The motivation of this investigation was to achieve 85% of methanol recovery from the distillate. II. Methodology: The distillation column was analyzed theoretically using McCabe Thiele to establish the number of stages required for separation.
